Life of a Trainee Paramedic

Tomorrow is what I would class as the most important day of the course for me.  It’s our final practical exams day and we have four skill station’s to do:

Advanced Life Support, Paediatric ALS, Trauma and a Medical scenarios are the ones that are going to be on offer tomorrow, and all in all should take around an hour to complete.  We have the 1st years helping us out, so at least they are going to know what we want of them when we ask them.  I’m not nervous as such, although I know I will be when I’m sat there waiting.  I just hope that I remember to do everything correctly, and get them out of the way 1st time.  I’ll be the 1st to admit that I don’t know everything, but I hope that what I do actually know, which when I think about it is quite a lot, I, and the rest of my course, should be able to pass them.

If I do, then I’m heading home for a few days before I start nights on the weekend, and if not, then I will be doing them again on Thursday and then going out for a drink with everyone on the night to hopefully celebrate.

Wonder when I’m going to be able to get to sleep?!
